Ornella Muti



I go absolutely nuts every time she's on screen... Ornella Muti was born March 9th 1955, an Italian actress born in the city of Rome as Francesca Romana Rivelli, she is in my opinion perhaps the most stunningly beautiful woman to ever live. An actress like no other she has worked for such European cinematic greats as Francesco Rosi and Volker Schlondorff during a career that has spanned almost 40 years. Although relatively un-known here in North America she is a house hold name in Europe, especially France and of course in Italy where the bulk of her work has been done. Ornella was voted "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World" in 1994 by a worldwide poll of readers of the magazine "Class" and I would have to say I completely agree. She made her UK /North American film debut in Flash Gordon which was released in 1980 and is one of my all time favourite films. The sight of her in that tight red spandex outfit is truly one of the greatest cinematic moments of all time. In her career she's done over a hundred films and continues to work steadily to this day, the most recent film being " io non ci casco" completed in 2008. In addition to her incredible acting talents she is also an accomplished jewelry designer as well, she is without a doubt the worlds most perfect female.

The images below are screen shots from the film Flash Gordon, Ornella was just as successful in modeling as she was in cinema and its easy to see why. Tall, statuesque and exotic she played the beautiful and dangerous Princess Aura daughter of Ming the Merciless.
